Why does it need to be "fully cured"?? what exactly are you looking for???

No ammonia spike??

No unwanted hitchhikers???

IMO-- you will be hard pressed to get any "fully cured" live rock-- there will undoubtably be some dieoff during shipping and the cheaper live rock you can buy is packaged overseas and is not "fully cured"... either way you will want to put it in an unstocked tank or a curing container (tote) with some circulation and a heater and quarantine it.

Maybe someone else can help... have you checked the selling forums or your local reef club section for someone selling their setup... http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumd...?s=&forumid=80

I bought 150 pounds fully cured rock locally-- I transferred it submerged and had no ammonia spike (was out of water long enough to weigh it)-- paid about $2.75 pound

I agree. If you go to the individual state forums, you could find someone in your area that's selling some. Where are you from?

Here is the local forum for Upstate NY. There has been a couple of people selling live rock in the last couple weeks or so, maybe they still have some.
